About the film
This film on animal rights looks at the impact of our almost complete dependence on plastic bags, which we use and discard carelessly everyday, often to dispose our garbage and kitchen waste. Not only are these bags a huge environmental threat, they end-up in stomach of cows, who, either because they have been discarded because they are not milking at the time or because the dairy owner is unwilling to look after them, have to fend for themselves and forage for food, which, like other scavengers, they find in community garbage dumps. The film is also a comment on the religious hypocrisy of the cult of the holy cow.
Note:The film will be followed by a discussion with the film maker.

About the Kriti Film Club:
The whole idea of the KRITI Film Club is to place thought- provoking cinema in a discussion group that will help to deepen understanding on these issues amongst viewers and film makers. We also serve as a borrowing and distribution space for documentary films from India and abroad.

About the film
A black comedy that explores the mindsets behind the gross inequality that exists in post liberalized India. The film travels through a cross section of urban India; encountering a mix of middle class opinions, news telecasts, state policies and angry outbursts from those ‘left over’, the journey being further complicated by the self indulgent voice of a pseudo-intellectual filmmaker with a penchant for making up academic sounding words.
